Whole30 day 19,20 and 21

Day 19

Regular day in Birmingham with the exception of voting. I am a regular voter and my next door neighbor is a poll worker for every election. (local, state, national) I walk in and go to the E-K table and who is there, but my neighbor Jane. She says "Hi Anne" I greet her by name and then she asks to see my license to verify who I am? Crazy!

Bring the coconut oil to a mid high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook until wilted. Add the apple wedges and cook until the apples are crisp tender. Remove the apples from the pan and add the turkey, stirring and cooking until it is almost cooked through. Add the apples and sweet potatoes back into the skillet, salt and pepper to taste, cover with a lid and turn the heat to medium low. Cook until everything is bubbly hot and the apples are cooked. Serve on a plate and enjoy. This made 3 very generous portions, but would also easily feed 2 adults and 3 children.

Day 21
Oh my goodness! Just 10 more days until this challenge is over and done.

Divide the oil in two cups ( I use my creamer for 1/2 cup and the measuring cup for the other 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup and 1/4 cup. With a whisk beat the egg yolk in a glass bowl (glass or glazed pottery, it makes a difference ) until it changes to a lemony color. Add the vinegar, mustard and salt and continue to beat until it is well blended. Add 1/4 cup oil and whip it until it starts to thicken a bit. Now here is the tricky part. Add the oil in the tiniest trickle you can possibly pour, drops at a time is even better. Whisk and whisk and whisk and whisk until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take a while but keep drizzling and whisking. When it is all light and fluffy add the lemon juice, Whip an additional time or two and now you have mayonnaise. (If it fails, and mine has failed before, turn it into salad dressing)

Not really sure. My plan right now is to eat paleo 6 days a week but will have one anything goes day. Of course the holiday season is thundering down on me and I am a sucker for the traditional foods I make yearly. ( That none of us need, but OMG I make some killer praline fudge.) I guess the real test will be on day 31 when I weigh and see if this lack of eating has real results, other than really feeling better.
